Mayo Clinic Arizona Nurse Residency 2020

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

Hello! I am currently in my last semester of nursing school and will be applying to Mayo Clinic. This would be such an amazing opportunity and it would be an honor to be accepted into the summer 2020 cohort.

I've heard that this program is very competitive and difficult to get into without any previous healthcare experience (e.g. Mayo Clinic inter, CNA experience, etc.). I'm worried because I don't have experience other than my clinical rotations. I was wondering if any of you had any insight into if Mayo will hire people without experience / any other advice about increasing my chances of getting hired? Thank you!

Same! I would gladly take a position on any unit. I am hoping that my PCT experience in an ICU makes up for the fact that my preceptorship was canceled ? How did u like the ICU at Mayo?

I thought they said if you have had experience in the icu at all then it counts. So I think you should be fine actually!! But the icu at mayo is so amazing. All the technology and resources and the people... it’s just amazing. The nurses are so helpful and willing to teach which I feel like can be rare. Just overall an amazing and supportive work environment

Anyone know how COVID-19 will affect the hiring process, if at all?

I know with some hospitals they said that new grads are not a priority with all that is going on.. so I am not sure what that means. But I still feel like they are gonna hire cuz they will need the help.

Yeah, hopefully they are accommodating with all that is going on with schools. All my clinicals have been cancelled for the rest of the semester and I might end up graduating a few weeks late :/

Does anyone have an idea of when we should be hearing back about getting an interview? I am sure they will be held via Skype.

That would be really nice if so since I'm out of state! I was planning to fly to Phoenix for an interview if I got one and actually flights are really cheap right now with everything going on, but it would definitely be nice to just interview through Skype. Since the applications close after tomorrow I'm hoping it's not long until we find out if we got an interview!

When I talked to some of the nurses that were hired as new grads out of state, they said they had a Skype interview. So I think they do that for all out of state applicants anyways! After looking through previous allnurses threads from the last application, it looks like it takes around a week or week and a half to see if we get a callback. Of course this could change with application period.

Anybody know how many people they accept into the program?

I believe 30? The number may change each time but I thought that’s what it was.

Do you know how many apply? I’ve heard wide ranges of applicant numbers and I’m not sure LOL

I think around 100-200
